lancedb-tables

lancedb-tables is a python package wrapper over LanceDB that makes it easy to create and update LanceDB tables into embedded streaming OLAP data pipeline designs.

Since Lance is designed to be mutable, it is possible to create an embedded streaming pipeline using the same data source. The main advantage of this streaming approach is that it doesn't require any parquet glob file management. This reduces the complexity of setting up streaming to the same as batch processing. The other main benefit is that LanceDB leverages the Apache Arrow Standard which makes integrations into ETL pipelines using Polars and DuckDB simple.
